When Ray Charles is concentrating he's like a piece of granite, nothing twitches, nothing, ... He sat for 25 minutes solid like that, like a stone, and I thought, 'Oh my God, if he doesn't like it I'm dead.' ... And then finally, after 25 minutes he started to talk back to the screen. I heard him say 'That's right. That's the truth.' .

Look at Walter Huston in The Devil and Daniel Webster: It's an incredible performance.

This devil loves mankind because men are going to always make the choice that will send him into ascendancy. He's been winning the game for a long time.

Well I don't think I've scored my life exclusively to Ray Charles.

It was the era of Tab Hunter and Rock Hudson; they all had a certain look.

I really believe you can predict when someone has a great attitude, a real well of talent.

I'm not in front of the camera, they are. I encourage them; I build up as much of their confidence and ego as possible. They've got to take control; I can't act it out.
